BLUETOOTH ACCESSORIES

NAC Testing examines the mechanical, electrical and audio characteristics of a device in addition to testing connectivity with companion devices.

Some areas of evaluation include:

Bluetooth interoperability with a popular mobile phone

Audio performance in the presence of background noise

Usability and unique product features are verified

Printed circuit board and plastic housing assembly are examined

Battery-life testing verifies the claimed talk, standby and music playback time with a dedicated source

A video 'overview' of the product along with audio recordings is included on a mini-CD.

BATTERIES

The NAC performs detailed safety and performance testing and analysis of batteries for wireless devices.
NAC Testing determines what type of battery life a device is capable of by using real-world operation. We test batteries as part of a complete, end-to-end system to determine if a battery is properly charging and if it maintains the charge over time - or if inefficiencies in the charging algorithms of portable devices may be prematurely shutting off charging before a battery has been charged to its fullest potential.

Some areas of evaluation include:

Evaluation to quantify a battery's stand-alone performance as well as when it is part of a system.

Testing maximum capacity in comparison to the manufacturer-rated capacity.

Testing and evaluating electrical and mechanical construction.

Scrutiny and testing of circuit board and internal safety methods.

Testing and evaluation of cell straps to help ensure reliable connections within the battery.

Evaluation of how reliably a battery connects and whether it can or can't be installed backwards.

Safety with batteries is area for concern.

The NAC performs detailed testing and analysis of battery performance and safety. NAC examination of batteries can determine if the proper safety precautions are implemented prior to problems being identified in the field. Cutting-edge lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries should contain several built-in safety features. The NAC can verify the proper design and operation of the safety features in these batteries helping your company strike the proper balance of safety, cost, and performance.

AC CHARGERS

The NAC evaluates electrical, mechanical, and safety aspects of a charger's operation as well as long-term reliability.

Some areas of evaluation include:

NAC testing determines the rate of charge and the battery's ability to remain charged while still connected to the charger.
